A team of racers, bold and true,
Williams Racing, the name we knew.
From humble roots they rose to fame,
And won the race, time and again.
A Poem about Williams Racing

“I’d rather be aggressive and then suffer the consequences later than never try and just finish last. So that was why I think I said I don’t really agree with it.” – Alex Albon

“I put the car in a place I shouldn’t have on Lap 1. It was a decent opening lap until that point as well. I should’ve just settled and went from there. [I] took the wing off and pretty much ruined my race from there.” – Logan Sargeant

“I think he’s doing a fantastic job: consistent, getting the best out of the car.” – Jenson Button

“My home race in Miami was an incredible experience. I was born just 30 minutes away from the track in Fort Lauderdale, so it was pretty cool to be there racing a Formula 1 car in front of an incredible crowd” – Logan Sargeant

Behind the scenes with Logan Sargeant: Williams’ rookie on his home race in Miami, and why he can’t wait for Imola

“From the beginning of the year to now, we’ve already put a lot of the short terms idea into processes, and in the last month or so, a lot of it is more of [Vowles] telling me his vision for next year” – Alex Albon

Williams already onto stage two of Vowles’ plan

Sargeant must show improvement in Imola, Monaco and Barcelona if he is not to lose his seat. Should he fail to do so, the rookie could be replaced before the Canadian Grand Prix
